1957 Map of Hornet

About this map

The Payette National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape where the border of Adams and Washington counties meets. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Weiser River and Crooked River, punctuated by high-elevation lookout points like Peck Mtn Lookout and Point Lookout. This era shows a transition in the local infrastructure; the presence of the Hornet Ranger Sta indicates active forest management, while several local educational landmarks, including Upper Dale School and Ridge Sch, are already marked as abandoned.
